Faculty Profile--Chris Curley

New Assistant Coach; Chris Curley
By: Jon Symons


Coach Curley



“I came to NSA to help kids,” says Chris Curley “learn more about hockey so they don’t make the same mistakes I made as a player and also to see them move on to the next level and help better them as people.”  

Chris played Junior B in Cardinal, Ontario in the Eastern Ontario Junior B hockey League or EOJBHL, where he played under the coach Rod Simmons.

In high school, Chris played hockey, golf, baseball, and soccer. He chose hockey because it was his favorite sport.

He came from a big family and he wouldn’t have it any other way because there was always something going on. He has an older brother that played four years of division 1 hockey and two years of semi-pro. With all of that ahead of him, he says that there is no sibling rivalry nor jealousy between them. “The hardest part about following my brother to NSA is trying to make my own identity after succeeding him with all of his accomplishments.” He says his biggest accomplishment in life was graduating from college. 

His hockey career led him to come to NSA. It was because of his playing under coach Simmons that had him come here for this year. For the time being, he plans to stick around NSA.
